Hoof Hearted's sweet revenge
BY MEGAN MORRISS
mmorriss@kansan.com
Beta A1 had a rough start in the first half with Hoof Hearted scoring early led by Nathan Hickey, Lawrence sophomore quarterback. Hickey led the team on two touchdown drives.
In the second half, Beta A1 and Hoof Hearted were tied 6-6. Beta A1 picked it up with a breakaway touchdown by Tommy Grutzmacher, Platte City, Mo. sophomore.
Holding was called on Hoof Hearted but led to the team scoring again.
With one second left and game tied at 13-13, Beta A1 called a timeout. The offensive Hoft Hearted
Derek Nye, Lawrence senior and Hoof Hearted team captain, was enthusiastic.
scored one extra point, bringing the final score to 14-13.
"It's good to beat the best frat on campus, especially a team that has a lot of resources." Nye said.
"We played pretty well but they're a good team and great guys." Greg Brunin. St. Mary's senior, said.
Kitley Jewell, Lawrence senior, said Hoof Hearted lost to a Beta Theta Pi team in a similar game last year, so the victory was sweet revenge.
The competitors of Hoof Hearted have been playing together for four years. Last year the team advanced to the non-competitive league finals. This is their first year in the competitive intramural league.

Stricker claims victory at Barclays after line of losses
HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) _ What looked like more heartache for Steve Stricker turned into the sweetest victory of his career.
After going $6\frac{1}{2}$ years and 146 tournaments without winning, Stricker birdied four of his last five holes Sunday at The Barclays for a stunning turnaround that gave him a 2-under 69 and a two-shot victory over K.J. Choi.
Strecker said, his voice choking as tears streamed down the side of his face. "I never knew if I was going to win again."
"It was hard, but it was fun,"
It sure wasn't easy. Not with 10 players — five of them major champions — separated by three shots. And not with Choi holing two birdie putts that were a combined 95 feet, making it look as if he were destined to win.
Stricker, who already let four chances of winning slip away this year, refused to buckle.

》 LITTLE LEAGUE
U.S. championship streak reaches three
BY GENARO C. ARMAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dalton Carrierik of Warner Robins, Ga., rounds second base after hitting a walk-off in run in the eighting队 against Tokyo in the Little League World Series championship game. Carrierik home run gave the Little League World Series title to an American team for the third straight team.
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
- Dalton Carriker couldn't feel his legs as he rounded the bases.
"I felt like I was flying, like Peter Pan," Carriker said. "I didn't know what I was doing."
His home run in the bottom of the eighth had just given Warner Robins, Ga., a thrilling 3-2 victory over Japan to win the Little League World Series title.
Adrenaline took over from there, said the 12-year-old slugger with braces.
His dramatic home run over the right-field wall off a 2-1 pitch from Japan's Junsho Kiuchi gave the United States three straight Little League championships.
"USA! USA!" cried the Georgia-partisan crowd and dozens of fans waved American flags. Columbus, Ga., won the crown last year, and Ewa Beach, Hawaii, in 2005.
"They're not greedy kids," relieved manager Mickey Lay said. "They just enjoy playing the game. That's something that we miss sometimes."
They sure had fun after Carriker's homer. The jubilant players from Warner Robins hugged him as he reached the plate. Lay lost his hat after joining his team in celebration following a tense game marked by excellent pitching.
Georgia reliever Kendall Scott struck out 10 and allowed one hit over five-plus innings to quiet Japan's bats after Georgia fell behind 2-0 early.
Scott, 12, had watched Japan's
"Going out there today, throwing the ball, I was scared to death on the first pitch," he said.
impressive hitters throughout the tournament.
Scott left the game in the top of the eighth, with Zane Conlon getting the last out.
That set up Carriker's gamewinning homer. The slugger, hitting .769 entering Sunday's game, was 0-for-2 with a walk when he came up in the eighth.
He said a little prayer before setting himself in the batter's box.
"God, please give me the strength to get a hit and help my team out," Carriker said in
recounting his prayer.
There was no doubt about his opposite-field shot off Kiuchi, which easily cleared the right-field fence 225 feet away from the plate.
Japan manager Youichi Kubo, who managed Japan to the 2001 Little League crown, tried to console his pitcher afterward.
"I told Junsho that when you are a reliever these things can happen," Kubo said through a translator. "I told him that he has a bright future and not to let this homer affect that."
After exchanging handshakes with players from Japan, Georgia
players took hold of the championship banner, their proud parents snapping pictures from the stands.
Warner Robins kept the trophy in the state.
The previous two Georgia teams to advance to South Williamsport also won the title, including Columbus last year and East Marietta in 1983.
Also, the United States' three year title streak is the longest since 1959-1966, an eight-year stretch of American victories.

"I'll remember every second of this," Carriker said. "This has been crazy."
